Description

De Hatsumermolen is what the Dutch describe as a "grondzeiler" . It is a two-storey smock mill on a single-storey base. There is no stage, the sail reaching almost to the ground. The smock and cap covered in weatherboards, which are vertical on the smock. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The sails are Common sails. They have a span of {{convert|11.56|m|ftin}}. The sails are carried on a cast-iron windshaft which was cast by Gietijzerij Hardinxveld of Giessendam, South Holland. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 31 cogs. This drives the wallower (16 cogs) at the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft, the crown wheel, which has 32 cogs drives a gearwheel with 29 cogs on the axle of the wooden Archimedes' screw. The axle of the screw is {{convert|260|mm|in}} diameter and the screw is {{convert|900|mm|ftin}} diameter and {{convert|3.75|m|ftin}} long. The screw is inclined at 34°. Each revolution of the screw lifts {{convert|111|L|impgal}} of water.
